I enjoy kneeboarding, while the rest of the family would rather ride the tube...

[thumper]

we enjoy monoskiing - but for those days when its not quite flat enough we have an obrien donut and a u-tube - havent used them on the doo yet only on previous boats - you almost need another trailer for the u-tube!!!

havent tried wakeboarding of barefooting yet

[Kevin Leclair]

you almost need another trailer for the u-tube!!!

I can vouch for that, here is me hanging onto the U-Tube - http://seadoosportbo...d=73&fullsize=1

cool - the best inflatable i ever saw was a barrel shape with open top and botttom -rider goes inside and it is towed from front - it had a universal joint which allowed it to spin on corners ejecting the rider if fast enough!! - has anyone alse seen these - i think they were taken off the uk market.

Do you get the Overtons catalog Kevin? There is one in there that appears to be worn like a vest...... interesting. I can't find it on the website, but it is in the catalog..

[Kevin Leclair]

I get it occasionally but since I moved I haven't received it. I will go onto their website and get them to send me one so I can check out what you are talking about.

wow they are serious stuff - it was like the gyro - imagine a coke can with the top and bottom cut off - that shape and it span - really fast - the sumo looks like a face skiing nightmare.

[Kevin Leclair]

Sounds like a blast!

Once you start to get good at Wakeboarding.....its a blast!!!! Just hurts a bit when you first start though!


The next best thing..........whiping people around on the tube!!!

[thumper]

i was once told that when cornering if the boat is doing say 25mph the tube on a 10m rope would be doin approx 3 times the speed - 75mph has anyone heard this before or do they know any physics geeks who could work it out for a 180lb person - would be interesting to know what speed you face dive into the water!!!

When the waves are good, going surfing to the outer reefs. When no ways, go out with family, friends and plenty of beer, and make a BBQ onboard!!!

Hi thumper. As someone who has been there done that a dont think its true . You do get a surge in speed briefly put it quickly goes away as you catch boat. If boat does a stop&360 you lose forward momentum. I have a friend with radar gun , I'll see if i can use it if i can get the nerve up to go that fast again. That water do hurt at speed !

[thumper]

i look forward to see your results
it still fast
